Prior to that outing, Chapman hadn’t made an appearance in four games and “when that happens…it takes a little longer when you have a longer outing to recuperate,’’ said Chapman, adding that it’s easier to bounce back when pitching every other day, or so.

However, the recovery time depends on usage and the effort and amount of pitches expended in any given outing, Chapman said. He was also quick to add that the Yankees have done “a great job managing everybody’’ in the ‘pen this year.

“We have a really good bullpen,’’ Chapman said. “And that allows for the whole bullpen to be rested’’ when necessary.’’

Didi Gregorius gets a day

Shortstop Didi Gregorius was rested from the starting lineup, with Gleyber Torres sliding over from second base to start Wednesday at his natural position.

Gregorius had started every Yankees game since the All-Star break ended, including both ends of a day-night doubleheader on July 28.

After a 13-inning game on Tuesday and a late-night flight awaiting the club, Boone figured it was a good day to rest Gregorius. “I’ll try and get our regulars (a rest) over these next few days,’’ Boone said of the Yanks’ current stretch of playing on 20 straight dates.

J.A. Happ is set

Veteran lefty J.A. Happ is ready to make his second Yankees start, Thursday, against the Rangers to kick off an 11-game homestand. Happ was placed on the 10-day disabled list, forced to skip a start at Boston due to hand, foot and mouth disease. “He’s been feeling good for several days now,’’ Boone said of Happ, who threw a side session on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
